"Never mind your civic responsibility... you should show up and vote out of spite, if for no other reason," Rick Mercer advises students. And although it is true that more votes will grant students a greater voice in the future, there are still some precious days left before this election.
It is with this in mind that one advocacy group has made a call to action, asking people to get candidates' attention in an effort to fight rising textbook costs. If it is true that "a federal election means that politicians are listening", then surely they're listening in Edmonton-Strathcona, where the race is seen by many as too close to call. So make your voice heard now, if only out of spite.
